Comma and point in quantity field (,.)

[nexx]

Hi,

In my shop I want to use point and comma in quantity field (eg. 1,5 and 1.5) because in my country we use comma as decimal separator (eg. 1,7cm). In google I found this:

open application_top from /catalog/includes/ and find all relevant
lines in the switch branch "update_product" and "add_product"

then use str_replace like this:
$HTTP_POST_VARS['cart_quantity'][$i] = str_replace(",", ".",
$HTTP_POST_VARS['cart_quantity'][$i]);

I use this code in application_top and now in shopping card clients can use , and . in quantity field. But I don't know where to put this code so as to clients use dots and commas (.,) on product page (add_product).

I will be thankful for your any help or suggestion.

Ps. sorry for my English. I hope that you understand me

First of all make sure your properly setting the in your main language file - ie: english.php or french.php:

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'fr_FR.ISO_8859-1');

See if finding the correct ISO local might change that for you - but I thought this was for date display.

In polish.php I have: setlocale(LC_TIME, 'pl_PL'); I was trying @setlocale(LC_TIME, 'pl_PL.ISO_8859-2'); but nothing change - when I use comma (,) i quantity field, eg. 1,5cm in shopping cart show 1cm.

I tried entering fraction and all I get is whole numbers. French does numbers the same way as your self and that is what came to my mind with commas. You can set your dollars/money to use commas - but for qty they do not STORE fracrtion and only use interger number.

I think thyou need to change intergers to FLOATS.

Look at:
osCommerce: Order fractions or Decimal Quantity


Good luck!
